EDITOR,---A Veteran in Literature, -but a Professor of no One of the Fine though an admirer, and, I may add, a 'patron of them all for forty years, troubles your candour with this address; and trusts in your liberality to allow him the privilege of offering a few hints on the state of one of t h e A rts through the medium of your Paper—l mean the Stage. From what I see its the Newspapers, circumstances of misfortune ap pear to have reduced the Theatre of Drury-lane to a situation which implies the probability of its closing this season in so desperate a state as to render its, re-opening a matter of doubt. The publication of its difficulties seems to increase them; - and to have had just the effect of a ru moured probable insolvency in a Bank, when the immediate run of creditors produces every evil, which a judicious concealment of difficulties, and time to overcome them, might have honourably averted. But this press of embarrassment is not he worst that publicity ha's brought .on . Drury lane Theatre. There appears a lamentable iadif ference in the Public to the event of its absolute dissolution. Such apathy can. arise front inconsi deration only ..Let the persons who form the public but ask themselves, whether they wish to have a means of wholesome relaxation continued to them, in a style befitting the polished taste of the country ? "If they answer.iu the affirmative, and would have. the best en - I'6 of dramatic ta lents, both in writing acid acting, preserved to them, they must be careful to keep up the spirit of each, by that generous rivalry, which, in . all cases of the kind, is a prime cause' of excellence. Allow Drury-lane to sink and to disappear, and where then is the arena for emulative genius ? where the contest ?—Ambition to excel ; com parison with cotemporary merit, aiming at the same point ! all are sacrificed ; for there is lid field of opposition. In short, if that part of the public who, with Dr.JoHNsoN,regard their. "harm, less pleasures" as mild auxiliaries tovirtue ; if they but reflect on this hint, they will see that it is their own interest, .and that of their 'pot. terity, to uphold the two rival winter Theatres with an equalizing hand. That, alone, will pre serve the balance .of power; by which only the Dramatic and Histrionic Arts. can maintain the distinctions in this country, bequeathed to them by SHAKSPEARE and by - GAR”icfc. • AN OLD FRIEND OF "THE DRAMA,- Bedford Coffee House, June 4. THE THEATRES. THEATRE.—The opera of 11 Matrininnia Secret°, a kind of imitation of our Clandestine Marriage, was represented on Saturday for the third- time, and altogether well received. The Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE entered during the second Act, and as the PRINCE Rloasir's box, in whiCh- they were sitting, was immediately next to that of Mr. CoUTrs, his Royal Highness re ceived that venerable Gentleman with the most cordial greetings, and introduced him to the Du. chess, who, on understanding who he was, ma nifested similar respect towards him. The Duke also honoured Mrs. COUTTS with a very kind sa lutation, and was going to introduce her to the Duchess, %ellen a considerable number of the au dience expressed their disapprobation by an illi beral hiss. The Duke then I lesisted, and--Mrs. COUTTS retired its he r b ox . W e cannot but strongly condemn this act of wanton malevo lence, on which, for the credit of the - public, we shOuld have been silent if it had not been mentioned in a Morning Paper. ..Why the evil* of one of the most respectable as well a's wealthy Gentlemen in Nils country, -whose ow l s life has been distinguished by acts ot.benevolence, and whose lady promptly seconds his. liberal feel ings, and has the blessings ot.the poor wherever she goes b . was thus insulted, we should be at a loss to conceive, if envy and malignity were not too ~ti ell known to be stronoy impregnated with human nature. It was, however, au act of officious im pertinence, to use the mildst terms, 'and could not but impress the amiable Duchess with an unfa vourable idea of our national character. The same unruly spirit vented itself during the Ballet of Zephyr, and particularly on its conclu. sion. The Earl of AYLESBURY was in the Chair at the Meeting. of the .Subscribers to the Opera, held on Saturday at the Thatched House Tavern, The Report of the Committee having been re ceived, the following Resolutions were passed unanimously : Resolved—That the establishment' of the King's Theatre has not accorded with the statement held forth to the public in the prospectus for the season. That the augmentation of the box subscription was called for upon the plea of an enlarged and improved establislinit.nt. That the establishment, instead of being enlarged and im proved, has been materially reduced in effect and expense, and that, therefore, upon the common principles of law and jus tice, the 'augmentation of the subscriptions ought to be re turned to the subscribers. That although some. unexpected impediments to engaging performers may have occurred, yet that Mr. Waters' exertions have not been such as a proper desire to give reasonable sa. , tisfaction to the Subscribers and Public, and an enbglitened regard to the true interests of the Theatre, should lucre dic tated to him. That the present Committee be requested to continue in existence, and to report to the present Subsciilicii, previous to the opening of the - ensuing Season, how. tar the gemfrral state of the Theatre, and the engagements actually made by the Manager, entitle him to the patronage and support of the public: DRURY-LANE THEATRE. —The special Com mittee appointed on Tuesday, consisting of twelve, among whom are the folloWing :—the Hon.

One urged that the Theatre could not ex ist without a difierencsort of management ; and this was most strongly impressed, upon the ground that one efficient person could do more than a Committee ; and the name of Mr. Cole man was introduced, as a Gentleman highly pable of every thing appertaining to'tbe mandge_ went of a Theatre. There was a proposition that the Theatre .should be closed on Saturday - week, by which time it was considered the prin.; cipal actors and actresses would have taken their benefits.=--(Observer.) , u3 roco 70 1
